Veterinarian

Practice

Somerset Animal Hospital was opened in March 2008. We are a small animal veterinary practice that specializes in seeing dogs and cats. We feel that excellence in veterinary care is only possible when you truly love animals.

More about the Role

At Somerset Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to providing high-quality veterinary care for dogs and cats in the Somerset community. Since opening our doors in 2008, we have grown alongside our town, expanding our team to include multiple experienced veterinarians who are passionate about animal health. While our primary focus is on canine and feline patients, we also offer select services for exotic pets such as rabbits, rats, and ferrets, including wellness exams, vaccinations, and quality-of-life consultations. For more specialized care, we work closely with board-certified exotic veterinarians to ensure every pet receives the best possible treatment.

 

Our hospital offers a full range of veterinary services designed to keep pets happy and healthy. From routine check-ups and vaccinations to dental care, surgery, and diagnostic testing, we strive to provide comprehensive and compassionate care. Our in-house laboratory and digital X-ray technology allow us to diagnose and treat conditions quickly and effectively. In addition, we offer microchipping, laser therapy, nail trims, and other essential services to support your pet’s well-being. Our team is committed to making every visit as comfortable as possible, treating each pet with the same love and attention we would give our own.
